South gate 5301 Capitol Boulevard South, Tumwater, WA 98501

"Glad they are able to keep the parking lot open since the city has decided to tear up all the roads to install mini Nascar tracks everywhere."

"Fast service, friendly staff. Kind of expensive for 2 taco salads. Too much burrito ingredients not enough salad."

"South Gate Shopping Center is a relic to say the least. The type of center, layout, etc. screams, "I was built in the 1970's!" The fact that Tumwater hasn't torn it down and put a Phoenix Inn Suites in along with Buffalo Wild Wings, car wash, and another Starbucks is beyond me and a totally different conversation. Mucho lo siento, I digress. However, let's get back to the review. Frequenting South Gate regularly for the last decade I can tell you the details. All true and point on. Thank you very much! Restaurants include Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, a Teriyaki place, and an awesome Authentic Mexican kitchen inside the Mexican Mercado! In fact my 5 stars is due to the Mexican kitchen. I highly recommend it! Other businesses include an auto parts store, barber, pet shop, laundromat, Metro PCS outlet, beauty shop, & a hydroponic grow store. Opps! I almost forgot about the coffee drive thru (Sorry Tumwater doesn't allow bikini baristas as Tumwater tries to play as though they are the most prude and proper when compared to Olympia and Lacey. In reality however, for the record, Tumwater Police are sub par in my opinion and basically jerks (I know from experience). They profile hard-core, aren't professional at all, lie, tell stories, and their use of personal digression is a joke. They aren't well trained and I would guess none have ever taken any college coursework in criminal justice. But hey who knows? I could be wrong but I wouldn't doubt it!"

"Food to go, sit down, and grocery store amazing! Even have a mini convenience store at counter(everything from Mexico!) for anyone looking for OTC items. Haven't tried their bar yet, but always sounds like people having fun."
